Something else that helps a great deal is for the original author of the
proposal to be the gatekeeper on changes to the proposal, including adding
committers.  Wiki's are wonderful in that anyone can fix anything, but for
project proposals, editing them to shift without consent their intent or
original initial committer list is strongly at the root of the problem.  It
also allows the TSC to be *thoughtfully* flexible in places, because it can
then ask the proposer "Why do you have 6 committers?".  Sometimes there
*will* be a good reason, and in the situations where there isn't one... the
*fact* that the proposer knows they will be asked will likely lead to the
correct outcome long before it comes to the TSC.
